"As we grow up,
we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to
ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart
broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours
was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love
for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is
passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you
love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love
like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you
spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."

Robert Brault
Such is my love, to thee I so belong,
That for thy right myself will bear all wrong.
Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.
For thy sweet love remember’d such Wealth brings,
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
In thy face I see honor, truth and loyalty.
I'll follow you and make a heaven out of hell,
and I'll die by your hand which I love
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

"Never make someone a priority when they make you an option"
“Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water,
about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope”
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a
baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and
we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we
have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of
that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse
gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice
vacation, when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than
right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges.
It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. One of my
favorite quotes comes from Dr. Marc Barsouna. He said, "For a long time it
had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always
some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished
business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin.
At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life". This
perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness
is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more
because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your
time...and remember that time waits for no one. So, stop waiting until you
finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until
you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house,
until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get
divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or
home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until
fall, until winter, until you are off welfare, until the first or fifteenth,
until your song comes on, until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up,
until you die, until you are born again to decide that there is no better time
than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
Thought for the day:
Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching!
(1) A Winner makes mistakes and says: I was wrong But a Loser says: it wasn’t
my fault.
(2) A Winner credits his good luck for winning even though it wasn’t luck But a
Loser credits his bad luck for losing, but it wasn’t about luck.
(3) A Winner works harder than a looser and has more time But a Loser is always
too busy too busy staying a failure.
(4) A Winner goes through a problem and a loser goes around.
(5) A Winner shows his sorry by making up for it But a Loser says his sorry but
he does the same thing next time.
(6) A Winner knows what to fight for and what to compromise on But a Loser
compromise on what he should not and fights for what isn’t worth fighting for.
(7) A Winner says I am good, but not as good as I ought to be. But a Loser
looks down at those who have not yet achieved the position he has.
(8) A Winner respects those who are superior to him and to him and tries to
learn from them; But a Loser resents those who are superior to him and tries to
find fault.
(9) A Winner is responsible for more than his job But a Loser says, I only work
here.
(10) A Winner says “There ought to be a better way of doing it” But a Loser
says why change it, that’s the way it has always been done.
One of life little ironies in the fact that when you finally master a tough
job, you make it look easy.
When things go wrong as they sometimes will; When the road you're trudging
seems all uphill; When the funds are low, and the debts are high And you want
to smile, but have to sigh; When care is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you
must, but do not quit. Success is failure turned inside out; The silver tint of
the clouds of doubt; And you can never tell how close you are It may be near
when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when
things go wrong that you must not quit.
It is better to be hated for what you are then to be loved for what you are
not.

Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded
state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is
much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight,
nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable
creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the
exertions of better men than himself.
--John Stewart Mill--
MTJT Answer to describe love to someone who doesn't know what it is 18 March
2010. Love casts out fear. It causes someone to put anothers need above there
own. It allows someone to put themselves at risk for someone else. It allows
someone to deticate there lives to the happiness of another. Love dose not stop
to ask what's in it for me. KJV John 15:13
MTJT 1 April 2010. I know not your name but I write this the same. The way you
care is a hearts snare and has inspired feelings I can not share. Your heart's
making music that I can not ignore and for that I sincerly hope you find what
your looking for. For in your moments of dispair I found of someone for whom I
could truly care.
MTJT 5 May 2010 I'd rather do nothing with you than anything with someone else.
11 May 2010 SLP: I love you. MJT: Miracle three.
15 May 2010 In your arms I'm pretty sure the worlds moving too fast to notice
us
25 May 2010 You are the personification of all the looks hopes and dreams I've
ever wished for all in one person,
your both beautiful on the outside and inside and your strengths over shadow my
weaknesses
